Newco Rangers chief executive Charles Green is confident Clydesdale Bank Premier League club chairmen will listen to his pleas to consider the impact on Scottish football when he presents his application to join the league.
Motherwell are to become the eighth SPL club to confirm their opposition to the plan, 24 hours before members vote.
Green is also struggling to garner support from Scottish Football League clubs for a plan to put his club in the Irn-Bru First Division, but he told www.rangers.co.uk: "I know the chairmen will listen. The problem some of them have to a lesser degree than I have here is fan pressure."
He added: "I said to a number of them over the weekend that if they're concerned about their fans, they should come to Ibrox for a week and sit in my chair. Fans are the lifeblood of all clubs and without them we have no product so we have to engage with them."
Green's Sevco consortium are also awaiting news over their application to join the Scottish Football Association, who have yet to confirm plans for an appeal hearing into oldco Rangers' failure to pay tax last season.
The club overturned a transfer embargo in court but the alternative sanction could be suspension or termination of membership.
Green said: "We think the important thing is Scottish football and we need to draw a line and move forward. There is now a clearer understanding of the implications of football without Rangers because, remember, this is not just about Rangers not being in the SPL.
"Lord Carloway may even just withdraw the licence to play at all if we go back to the tribunal.
"There are some big decisions and none are more material than Rangers being excluded from the league and the financial incomes this club drives for the benefit of all Scottish clubs."
The attention will be on the 30 Scottish Football League clubs on Tuesday as they meet at Hampden to discuss the governing bodies' First Division proposal.
